It's an approximation, or better a bound.

When designing chips or doing layout for FPGA designs, we do something called timing analysis to find out if signals get to where they should do such that the chip is stable ("meets timing").

There is a lot more to it than just distance. The transistors have speeds, to start with.

That and just because this size gives a bound on how quickly you can do things, the transistor count is also increasing, so the actual clock doesn't increase all that much.
Unfortunately that is a fairly common cause of fuel exhaustion incidents.
Totally thought this was related to the Backyard Bird Count this year lol
We're just starting beta, but my friend Phil and I both worked together at GitHub and are building what we hope to be a better Hubot at https://ab.bot right now.

It's missing some of the chatops stuff that is mentioned in the blog post but since we support a lot more languages than Hubot we're hoping it's a matter of time before someone in our community builds a better replacement deployment script (or we'll do it while building out sample scripts :))

(Also, hi GitHub friends!)

> And customers may or may not have the RAM required to hold a 10 GByte file in RAM, and none of them have enough RAM required to hold a 500 GByte file in RAM. Backblaze needs to store these "snapshots" someplace, so it stores them on disk.

But at the same time, customers are very likely to have enough RAM to hold a 100 MB file, and definitely have enough for a 10 MB file in RAM. It might be better (faster, easier, less abusive to the drive) to store small files in RAM (for some well-chosen value of “small”, of course. Likely one that depends on the system RAM size and bandwidth.)
I'm surprised this hasn't gotten more news coverage, here is a pretty cheap off the shelf drug that improves Covid outcomes in a good sized double blind trial. Potential side effects are non trivial but come from misuse and I would expect most patients at grave risk from Covid would be under professional care (hopefully minimizing misuse).

I feel lots of the comments are polarized and don't take into the account the magnitude and difficulty of the problem at hand. Additionally, I wonder what the comments would be, if the opposite would have happened, an app with explicit content lands on the playstore. Are there any data available about the false positives false negatives etc. ?
That also means when it does go wrong, it takes much longer to fix. Good operational practice is to decrease MTTR, not make it worse.

What are you on about? This behaviour is for Chrome. The Firefox extension looks fine.
The article opens with the following line:

GitHub is a Microsoft website.
...is unmatched by what's seen here in the U.S. Is it because the movie industry there is more permissive towards such genere?

Can you elaborate on this? On the face of your comment, I think you might just be unaware of a lot of films that have been made in the US. The article mentioned the American David Lynch's Eraserhead as an influence of these works. David Cronenberg is also undoubtedly a huge influence here as well (I know he's Canadian, but he largely works in the American movie industry).

It's not like Tetsuo: The Iron Man was a huge financial or mainstream success. Most of these movies were mostly relegated to the grindhouse, and American has more than its share of grindhouse film makers (ala John Waters). Also consider that The Fly was as big a financial success as Akira.

Basically, what I'm saying is that I don't think Japanese artists & audiences are very different from their American counterparts in this regard. It is not distinctly Japanese or American to dream up horrific stuff, but rather, it's human to hold up a mirror to an, at times, horrific existence.
I don't want to name them here, but a new group has popped up that does the exactly same thing HorribleSubs did.

Thanks for explaining that. It seems that penalty is already used, which is unfortunate. One of the interesting things about ML is that you can learn for a year and a half and still uncover more things you didn't know, which I love.

I guess I'll call loss "punishment." It matches how it feels to make progress in ML anyway.
Not the OP but there are sites like CoFounderLab.
A few years ago Delta started force-feeding adverts to me pre-takeoff on the seatback screens. Pressing the off button turned it off for a moment, then it turned back on to continue the advert.

That happened once, I haven't flown with them since. I don't look forward for the day when I will no longer have that option.
Look at BuyVM, OVH (SoYouStart/Kimsufi), Netcup.eu. All very solid providers and I have servers/VMs with all of them.

I was surprised to see their canary stages are just 5 minutes. Many problems take longer to manifest. That seems like a fairly risky release process.

Years ago I learned my lesson about preordering technology products. It's a lot easier to create a nifty demo of something than it is to build something at scale. I got suckered by the Lilly drone and managed to get a refund before things started to go south and that was my last "Ooops".

The biggest problem with this (and many tech preorders/ Kickstarters) is that by the time they iron out all the production bugs and software issues, the product is obsolete. Even if the product ships in a timely fashion and isn't obsolete at launch, often you can just order it or a competing product for the same as the pre-order cost or often less.

For board games and some other non-tech products, pre-ordering makes sense because the product is often unique and not available outside pre-order. For tech stuff, stay well clear.
Techniques that will changing your life for the better
Wikipedia: "Dichlorodiphenyltrichloroethane, commonly known as DDT, is a colorless, tasteless, and almost odorless crystalline chemical compound, an organochlorine. Originally developed as an insecticide, it became infamous for its environmental impacts"

I actually remember in 1963, we had an invasion of ants. Just regular brown ants common in north European countries. They were everywhere. In beds, in food stores, inside the insulation. And they were also of the biting kind. Traditional solution was to abandon the house for in midwinter and let it freeze up. Just a few buffs from a tiny cardboard box of DDT and they were all gone. Excellent, fuck the environment.
The nice thing about this new Google technology is that it makes it easier to fleece a flock of users, while making the users think they have privacy.
Lovely idea to project signage directly on the snow.

Montreal is getting better about plowing bike lanes, they are still third in line behind car roads and sidewalks but they do get plowed relatively quickly after big dumps.

Also having experienced dedicated lanes, not just painted markings, it makes a world of difference. You can actually relax a bit and enjoy the ride, even if you're close to car traffic.

Try winter riding! I assure you, you will not be cold!
How do you know the OP’s situation has nothing to do with their dad’s predicament? Do you realize that social mobility differs tremendously across nations? In many societies, it is not nearly as easy to escape poverty as you seem to imply. Your “baseline” might be making coffee at McDonald’s, and presumably not homeless , but not everyone is as fortunate as you. For all you know, the OP has been living their life in exact accordance with your instructions up to this point.
> You seem to care about whether the messaging provider knows your phone number / email address... but that simply isn't the attacker model most people have: they want the people they are talking to to not have their real phone number / real email address, and couldn't care less if Telegram or Snapchat or Google or even Facebook knows who they are taking to

I don't disagree but OP was specifically talking about Signal "snooping" one's phone number, so I was talking about a different attack vector.

Besides, to answer all those comments saying that they would set up a separate anonymous email address in heartbeat, we should not forget that the HN crowd is a rather unique group of people. How many of our grandmas would get themselves a new email address just for the purpose of signing up for Signal?

Finally,

> Signal doesn't seem to care

doesn't seem to be true. The Signal developers have been working on switching from phone numbers to usernames as unique identifiers[0] since at least 2019. As they have mentioned multiple times, though, it is a complicated change.

Shit man, I imagine it must not be easy.
this looks pretty cool, will be watching out for this one.
There's nothing wrong with it except that everyone else becomes their servants, and the wealth they accumulate could actually be used to save lives instead of buying them mcmansions and yachts. What a tragic and absurd waste.
Could it be because when it comes to nudity, the rules can be clearly defined? "No nipples" is a pretty simple rule that doesn't leave room for interpretation.

"No violent rape", "no violent murder" not so much. These are fairly subjective, and even tautological.

Not saying it's not a funny paradox, just trying to figure out why.

County or city building departments is probably a good place to start. If you want a few chargers it's probably find an electrician and get a permit. If you want 200 chargers, you will be talking to the power company and governments, you probably want a lawyer.
> Saying "I can send one million dollars or 20 dollars easily to anyone without blockchain" is no different than a "Let them have cake" to someone in Argentina who would like to work as a freelancer with European customers.

Again, that's not the point I'm making.

Yes, perfect shouldn't be the enemy of good, but utterly insufficient shouldn't be the enemy of good either.

Yes, some people are helped. No, substantially any more people cannot be helped because - and while you disregarded this criticism earlier - the system simply cannot and does not scale to any transaction quantity larger than that of a single Costco or a large flea market.

btw, if someone's charging you 2% per month for a loan, that's likely because lending to you is incredibly risky. If someone's offering you a loan for less than that, they're in danger.

> It has more to do with enabling whatever-you-can-call "middle class" to be able to protect their wealth and to do their business without being harassed by corrupt government officials, or having their savings inflated away by government that can not/will not manage their finances and even to enable them to make business with foreign entities without getting ripped off by abusive/unfair taxes.

Blockchain doesn't stop any of that. It's not a way to protect your wealth if the value drops 40% in a month. In this month. That's not protection, that's juggling buzzsaws. In no small part because the same thing that allows it to be used in these rogue jurisdictions allows scammers and criminals to manipulate the ever loving crap out of it - I mean, Tether, for example, but that's just the latest example. It's impossible to actually price because you can't see through the murk.

I've said this before, and I stand by it: if you have a government that cannot manage a currency, you have bigger problems than your currency. Once you sort out the government, the currency is no longer a problem. And even if you use crypto you are still subject to those same taxes. But strictly worse because you have to pay them in local units, but store your value in a wildly fluctuating store of value.

I also reject the idea that "just do financial crime" is a solution to really any problem you may have.

> If you show me any non-blockchain alternative where people are free to choose if they want intermediaries or not, then I will gladly support it.

Good news!

Can the entrepreneur in Rio or the freelancer in Argentina who wants to do business with Europeans not use TransferWise or open a TransferWise Borderless account in seconds? [1] It allows them to hold any of 55 currencies and send them to 70 countries - at mid-market rates, plus a small fee - including Brazil, Argentina, the US, Canada and Europe. Their rates are incredibly competitive.

If you're upper-middle-class there's always HSBC Premier which will get you local bank accounts in 80 countries, with one-click transfers between them in Global View. [2]

now if only they had something for astigmatism. There's surprising lack of progress
The problems that don't immediately manifest could very well take hours or days or longer. There has to be a limit, and 5 minutes is as good as any.
In this case it's not an indefinite suspension. The email said exactly what he needs to do to resolve the issue.

I'd rather be in that situation because there would be something I could do to make progress, even if I didn't agree with the decision.

In my case, I have no idea how long this is going to take - and I've seen horror stories on the Apple Developer forums of people being in review for months. It's also clear that a person hasn't actually been reviewing my app for 2 weeks straight, even though its been in the "In Review" state for that long. There's just not enough functionality in the app -- and previous updates to this app have only spent an hour or two in review. Maybe it's just my personality, but waiting in limbo with no end in sight really drives me nuts.

EDIT:
to be clear, neither situation is good, but if I had to pick one, I'd pick the former.
Record-breaking laser link could help us test whether Einstein was right
From what I can gather looking at the images and such, the device is one gate with 3 or more isolated channels, each with separate source/drains. Are these processes constrained such that all the sources/drains have to be linked together later? Or can they be used independently, allowing the designer to construct 3 or more transistors with a shared gate?
The thing about stress is that it can creep up on you. It’s easy to develop resilience debt. Tracking things like HRV, heart rate at sleep, respiratory rate and heart rate at rest help identify early warning signs of stress before they manifest into actual stress. Exercising regularly and eating right helps of course but most people don’t actually know what a good exercise should feel or what reaction a meal has in their body.

Personal anecdote, when I’m getting more stressed I start getting a heart spike at sleep. I’ve tried ignoring it and it turns into anxiousness and stress.
I was actually thinking about writing a blog post about one of the more culturally transgressive things Google has done lately: they stopped banning naked yoga videos on YouTube:

https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=naked+yoga

There's absolutely nothing wrong with videos showing the human form, but people doing yoga without wearing a single thing—on YouTube—is definitely going to surprise some people. I'm honestly quite surprised that Google permits it, but I'm glad that they do.

Someone has to challenge the ridiculous American cultural taboos surrounding the human form. I think YouTube is a terrible dangerous tarpit of censorship, a sort of societal "attractive nuisance", but they should be credited with challenging ridiculous unnecessary censorship norms when they take steps in the right direction for once.
If that were true then email would be at odds with the concept of federation. There aren't interest-based email servers, or at least the concept of email isn't hard-coupled with interest-based servers.
>I don’t think this post deserves the downvotes- it’s a statement of confusion, but the confusion comes from an honest, understandable place and there’s a clear answer to the question.

The data is clearly saying the opposite. Put that in the context that we had a short term trend of global cooling from 2016-2019. If 2020 is the hottest year ever surpassing 2016. There's no explanation other than there's something wrong. https://climate.nasa.gov/blog/2893/nope-earth-isnt-cooling/

The one thing I wonder. Contrails have a beneficial effect on climate change. I wonder if the lack of air travel perhaps that's why the climate got so bad.

Lets step back though. I'm downvoted because you are not allowed to question climate change.

For others like me who are wondering how much bandwidth could be realistically achieved between sattelites, here is one real-world product from the company “Tesat”:

Napkin math: that’s 56 clients using constant 100 MBit/sec. With overbooking coefficient of 0.01, that’s 5,600 clients on 100 MBit/sec plan per sattelite with 1 MBit/sec guranteed.

Reading this article reminds me of an econ classes I took in college, developmental economics, where we studied what metrics are correlated with long-term economic growth. Of course we looked at things like education rates and technological advances, but surprisingly we looked at trust as well. Interestingly sociological measures of trust had a tighter correlation with long-term economic growth than anything else we looked at. If contracts are not trusted to be honored or enforced then business activity breaks down.

The tech industry seems to support a rotating cast of monopolists riding atop whatever gate-keeping function emerges, each one holding on as long as it can until replaced by something that ends up looking a lot like the last top dog.
I suspect this will be minorly used for direct misinformation control("Donald Rumsfeld is not a lizard person"), but mostly used for narrative control("While this fact is true by itself, you need to look at the bigger context..."), and so will be entirely ineffective. People readily take up new information, but are very hesitant to change their internal narrative on a matter. Especially when they're being told by others what their narrative should be. Double especially if part of their narrative is that big tech/liberals/academia/coastal elites/etc are trying to feed you the Big Lie.

Conservative misinformation is a big talking point for liberals, and maybe the big societal issue at the moment, but as a small scale test run, I'd love to see birdwatch try to correct the record for misinformation that is commonly believed in liberal circles: Anti-GMO, anti-vaxx, toxic whiteness, the extents of systemic racism in our society, some of the more dire prognostications of nuclear war and global warming.

The numbers roughly correspond to the width of wires in the circuits, but the number of circuits you can fit per unit area depends on the square of that number so going from 7nm to 5nm roughly doubles density. The first microprocessor[1] was around 10,000nm so we're approaching 5,000x thinner wires or almost 25 million times more circuits (the latest Apple M1[2] is at 5nm have about 8,000,000x as many transistors as the 4004).
